enough with new york already

I couldn’t even finish this.

why i’m doing this

Well look at this. I woke up this morning and now I have a blog.

I thought it would be appropriate to write about why I’m doing this for my first entry, but last night I was too tired and just went to bed. The task seems much more daunting now, probably because I haven’t had any coffee yet. It is something I’ve spent a lot of time over the past few months thinking about, however, and I think it’s important to write about.

Writing is something I’ve known for a long time I want to pursue — I even have vague plans of making money and supporting myself someday through writing. I’m currently working on my second book and have been for several months. The first one didn’t get any farther than the third draft when I outgrew it, and frankly, it’s not very good (at the time I thought it was genius, but at the time I was 23).  I’m much more excited about this second one, but as I write it I know I can do better and I know I have to get better.

Hence, this blog.

I want to use this site as a practice space for me to write about whatever I want however I want. It doesn’t matter what I write as long as I’m writing. I’m one of those people who works in bursts with (sometimes long) off periods in between, and I plan to iron that right out of me with the hot brand of discipline. I also see this online space as my eventual authorial home on the web, so bookmark it now. Maybe one day I’ll post and/or sell my writing stuffs here. Who knows?

Right now I don’t have any real sort of content plans, just whatever bucket loads I can draw from my brain well — and that makes me excited to think about, which is good since I’m the one doing all the work.
